In a nutshell, this website says that Foster's isn't good for little kids. And it's one of those sites that has tips for parents.

:cheesegrin:

Idiots and losers. :P 8D

That's a pretty stupid article. It's a very imaginative show, the 'potty humor' is nowhere near as bad as it's contemporaries, the characters DO contribute to the plot, and the conflict(characters yelling, being frustrated, etc) is necessary to add depth to the show and make the characters even more likeable and endearing.

If they mentioned the unwarranted malice and cruelty of "Imposter's"(ugh) and "Foster's Goes To Europe" as a strike against the show, I'd give the article some credit. But as it stands, it's very poorly written and kinda ignorant of the actual show.

Very much. But it's still good for a laugh. Apparently they didn't do to much research on the show.

That was the dumbest review I have ever read, and that's all I have to say.

One of the things I love about Foster's is that it has more soul than most kids' cartoons, but apparently these people don't agree.

"The imaginary friends are an eclectic and interesting bunch of monsters, but they run around in a pack and contribute very little to the plot. The premise is sweet, but the content is nothing more than rough-and-tumble boys' games.

Instead of following an imaginative storyline, the main characters yell and shout in frustration, buck the rules, and wrangle the innocent and vulnerable. It's hard not to wonder whether the creator dropped out of the project altogether, leaving it in the hands of less-capable writers."

Ahh, good times. Like all good sensible parents, these soccer moms are sure to send the "Everyone is Always Nice and Uses Indoor Voices Except You" message to their children.

"Parents looking for better alternatives can check out Ed, Edd, n Eddy and Time Warp Trio."

.........

*sobs*

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!

"The main characters often yell and shout in frustration and are prone to breaking rules." Well, it's not like the kid wouldn't learn to yell and shout in frustration or end up breaking rules either. And having moments of anger make the show more realistic. You want your kid to believe that everything is always happy? Then don't expose them to the real world.

And that thing about "A bust this large needs ample support"--a young kid normally wouldn't get the hidden sexual reference, unless he's been exposed to vast amounts of cartoons with that sort of stuff, and if so, then golly. Better stop worrying about a perfectly good cartoon and re-evaluate what you expose your kid to, hmmm?

"Instead of following an imaginative storyline..."
Yes, a singing deodorant stick is very uncreative.

That's messed up. EEnE is a very rowdy, crude and often meanspirited show. Why would be a viable alternative to Foster's? :wiltshock:

LOL... nerrrrds...

AND ALSO Ed Edd n Eddy? For an alternative for WEE LITTLE CHILLUNZ?, (i LOVE Ed, Edd, n Eddy, So i'm allowed to say this... xD) But you can find dirtier things in ed, edd, n eddy than a lot of the cartoons on cartoon network. LOL... Does anyone remember the "magazine" episode?

But yeah... If people dont like it, It's them... We can all like it because we are not 4 :P

i like the phrase 'eclectic and interesting bunch of monsters' but it better describes my family and friends than anything in Fosters.

Other than that this article is dreary kipple. Are this lot really allowed to fill my nice planet with their kind?

I don't get why people get into a tizzy over sexual references. It's really, really simple -- if they get it, they already know what it means, and that's not the creators' problem. If they don't, it won't hurt them. It's not rocket science. Besides, most cartoons have them.

Yeah -- the characters in Foster's are rambunctious and get angry, while the characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy scam people, call each other "loser", beat each other up, run around with no parents in sight, and um... have green and blue tongues. And EEnE is better. I don't know about you guys, but that makes sense to me, because scamming and name-calling goes on in real life, but people never get angry. Also, it's better to not let your kid watch a cartoon just in case they think imaginary friends are real rather than, you know, explain that they aren't. Hooray for letting the TV babysit your children!

They've got to be kidding. I doubt they've watched either show. These uptight (censored) need to find something useful to do with their lives. I'm sorry, but I have no regard for people of this sort, none at all. Send them back to the Stone Age where they belong.

The funny part was the reviewer suggesting young children to watch Ed, Edd 'n Eddy. :P EEnE is less appropriate for younger children than Foster's is. I don't take these seriously. I just think these folks are dopes. :P

Heh heh heh, These uptight media watchdog groups, are always great for a couple of laughs.

I personally always love it when they break out the 50 cent words in some kind of vain attempt to make them selves look all academic and self important. 8D

what i found funny was that its a "common sense review"

ok im a fan of all three shows involved here, and i can say that Fosters is probably the most family friendly one of them all. E,E,nE, well i think you all have said more than enough of what you think on that. but TWT? seriously, these people i dont think even own a tv.



...the whole thing was probably written by somebody who obviously is missing some of his/her brain cells. like all of them.

...Someone who made this is probably a Foster hater. Hey, Foster haters can exist. Nothing we can do about it.:P

No, just a person who didn't bother watching enough episodes and/or didn't do enough research on the show. :(

The show ain't creative to the reviewer, eh? This person obviously must have a fear of creativity if they watch the most wacky episodes and still don't find it creative.

Ed, Edd n' Eddy as an suggestion? I don't think so. That show's has even more mean stuff than this show.

this is just humaliating. ive actually favorited this page, mostly because i could always use a good laugh.

on a side note, i find it funny by how much they say KND is not fit for kids.

Oh nyo XD I'm having a total field day with this website. I remember stumbling on it before, and it's just as funny today as it was a few years ago.

I don't want to drift offtopic, but their #1 choice instead of invader zim was jimmy neutron. Hilarious! I know what website's going to be keeping me up all night.

That website also fails to back up most of the things they say... I looked up another one of my favorite tv shows and they claim, "the characters are underdeveloped, and overall the show feels forced." ...along with a bunch of other things. I love a good argument against shows I like, but is it really so hard to tell people why you think something sucks?

It's like tv.com- but eight times more lullz because these reviews were made by serious adults who lacked screen names with an "x0x0" or a danny phantom-foster's crossover fanfic that they're more than willing to advertise at any given second.

That review makes me laugh.

Wut Wut Wut.

Ed Edd 'n' Eddy.

Ed Edd 'n' Eddy has an episode where the Eds go on research for... something and end up in the most unrealistic world on CN, where Rolf has 3 heads and Jimmy loses his outline.

OK I got freaking annoyed at that review now. Also, look at that show's review:

ANGER TIME! :(



EDIT: OK, WTF, IZ is rated 'Good Stuff' while FHfIF isn't. IZ contains freaking BLOOD, but they probably looked next to it all. >:(

Okay, I finally got to read it (Last time, the stupid pop-up blocker got in the way) And I say that this guy doesn't pay attention to the current epsisodes. Hey, if the guy that said that is reading this forum, (Hey, it could happen, couldn't it?) I'd type in this: WATCH MORE EPISODES!!:terrence: ::) Sheesh! Sorry. Had to let out that anger stored in me. The guy's review really irked me.:P

Some folks are awful hard on shows and are overly sensative to things.

I have an aunt who won't let her daughters watch Kim Possible because of violence. Sheesh.

The suggestion of Ed, Edd, and Eddy is patheticly hilarious. EEE is a terrible show, regardless of the level of "inappropriate" content (which is has more of than Foster's anyways).

Hah, I'm just wondering what they're comparing it to to consider its mild innuendos anywhere near being vulgar. Apparently they've not seen Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, or the Animaniacs, or they would know that compared to these, Foster's looks downright saintly.

Not a well-researched article, and funny, but nonetheless sad, because imagine how many parents are reading this wrong review on it and changing the channel for their kids every time it comes on.

I know a show that has more "inappropiate" conent that EEnE: Xiaolin Showdown. If you wonder, "How does she know that?", let's just say I saw what some member in youtube gave out (I didn't even noticed about the content of XS until I saw the vid.)

Ah yes. However, I've found Xiaolin Showdown to be entertaining on more than occasion. I can't say that for Ed, Edd, n' Eddy.

Most of these "inappropriate references" go over theheads of the kids these web-watchdogs are trying to protect.

Ed, Edd n' Eddy? I love that show but it's so dang gross! That's a better alternative?::)

What the bad word is with this guy? He must live in a cave or something if he thinks EEE's quirkiness is better than Fosters'... non...quirkiness... yeah.

Hey, they could have said My Gym Partner's A Monkey was a better alternative. :-/

We get the message... ;)

...You do? Good.

But I would suggest looking at that shows review, for a bigger laugh.

OK, I won't lie to you guys-- I can't find the article. I clicked on the link and the site either said that page was "under construction" or that the page couldn't be opened, I don't really recall. But the concept just bothers me.

Seriously, EEE is better alternative to Foster's? Dear God in Heaven, what has the world come to? I'm afraid I can't recall who posted it, but someone already said it: scamming people, calling each other loser, no adults in sight EVER is a better alternative? :wiltshock:

And saying that characters getting frustrated and yelling at each other is bad? C'mon, people, this is the real world (sort of). People get frustrated and lose their tempers and yell. (I know I ain't an exception!) It's not like, say... Wilt and Bloo are getting into full-blown screaming matches and dropping serious curses here. Plus, at the end of the day, everyone's still friends.

And it's not like the characters are doing any serious damage to anything or themselves. Aside from Berry's psychoitc-ness (I know there's a better word for it, but I can't recall what it is) and wanting to get rid of Mac, the worst that ever happened to a character in an episode that I've seen is what happened to Ed in "Beat with a Schitck" and Wilt getting severly dehydrated in "The Buck Swaps Here." It's a cartoon-- it's not like we're killing people left and right.

Some people may point to Coco's line from "Room with a Feud" about how to get rid of Peanut Butter, to which Mac replied, "I think we'd go to JAIL with we did that." (Or something like that.) True, this line indicates that Coco was talking about killing Peanut Butter, but she-- or any one else-- didn't actually TRY to kill him!

There's also the line I've seen referred to that the IF's are "monsters." Well, geez, of course they're gonna look a bit like monsters! They're the imaginary friends of kids! A little kids isn't going to think of their imaginary friend in human terms, anatomically speaking. A little kid going to think of something like Coco or Bloo-- something whimsical or nonsensical (like Coco) or very simple (like Bloo).

Basically, I think this article was written by someone who didn't have all the fatcs and/or was severely misinformed. There really should be an article discussing the positive things about the show-- it's creativity, both in concept and animation, and that it teaches a lot about having and keeping good friends.

Website is here. I saw this topic and figured as much it would be that website. XP I found an article talking about how Kirby was a violent, scary commercial that made no sense and posted it on another forum a while back.

Man, I'm 18 and I didn't even catch the sexual innuendo they talked about. oO

Heh, I checked the CAPalert website to see if they had anything on Foster's but they didn't. Shame, THAT would be funny to read. XDXD

Ugh, double Ugh, capitalized, in bold, with a kagillion exclamation points after it!

UGH, UGH!xkagillion

When I first saw this I was sooooo mad! I posted about it in the "What ticks you off" thread. I posted a 101% positive review about it on the sight, hoping it'll lessen the horror for some reason. What makes me so mad about it is that this is a popular sight for parenting advice, and is wholesome and honest, and many well meaning parents could easily fall for those lies. It I'm sure has hurt the show to some degree, no matter how minor. And that makes me mad!

I did however appreciate the honest reviews by parents and even kids who also disagree with this ridiculous review. I'm not the only one who tried to right a wrong. A big, BIG wrong.

Ugh... :P

AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! This reveiw just...:wiltshock: :edmad: :frankiemad: :terrence: :o >:( And all those smilies don't even begin to cover it! (Although the website name, commonsensemedia.org, gave me a huge laugh.)

It doesn't matter. I'm still going to watch Foster's and love and enjoy every moment of it.

:madwilt: "Now on the list of things that are not okay, THAT was really not okay."
:edmad: "They is estupido!"
:herriman: "This is unacceptable!"

Im not even going to read that pile of trash, i swear people get all pissy for nothing.

Don't look now but there's a cow hovering just overhead!


I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE


That episode was a giant acid trip. Seriously.

And people say Foster's is drug-influenced....

Retards.
